Estimating Software
Construction Estimating Support truly believe in delivering a full construction estimating service and in order to be able to offer a construction estimating service that is second to none, Construction Estimating Support deem that to be able to deliver high quality service, the technology must be in place to support and provide information management to the customer, which is literally at their finger tips.
This bespoke construction estimating service gives full flexibility to modify the estimate to eventually deliver a complete picture for the customer. This is done by using SEC software, which is used by those in the industry and acknowledged to be a leading tool in the market, as well as referred to within the construction news and press.
Quotations are gathered from contractors and sub-contractors and input in to the software. The software allows the quantities to be removed before measuring the linear items and square metre areas, by using Construction Estimating Support’s bespoke digitiser, developed specifically to our specification. This state-of-the-art technology allows customers to be able to adjust construction estimating costs, providing a flexible construction estimating service to the end user.
Furthermore, this is a fully interactive programme which gives customers the ability to print off any number of reports such electrical schedules of rates, mechanical output, to the final summary sheet, as well as creating a model of the final construction of the building. In addition, the estimator can also remove or add in, main contractors’ discounts, making this tool extremely flexible whilst providing a complete and transparent construction estimating service. Moreover, the software has the ability to give a micro and macro full costing. So for example if the customer needs to know the cost of one floor in a block of flats, the software can highlight just a segment of the costs say, the walls only, or the electrics only, or the two combined. Alternatively it can calculate the costs in one entire floor, thereby providing the customer with a micro level of information that will give the customer the flexibility to adjust costs where needed. Once all the data has been entered, this will provide the customer with a macro view or a full ‘cost head’ report. Again, something the construction news has emphasised as a major support mechanism to the industry.
Construction Estimating Support really has put its construction estimating service as a top priority, recognising the importance of providing a robust and adaptable tool. This is something that makes our client service second to none.
